Synopsis

Martha Hoagland is a 16-year-old girl suffering through her parents' recent divorce. Her mother is working long hours. Martha has recently been dumped by her high school boyfriend. Feeling lonely and seeking solace, Martha turns to an online chat room. Martha believes she is chatting with a young man who cares for her, when in reality she is chatting with Scanman, an internet predator involved in a cyber-kidnapping ring. Martha, who has told her online chat friend that she is 21, is lured to join her new "friend". When the investigation starts, he claims he never sent her a ticket. The police, the FBI, and an experienced computer hacker help Martha's mother Connie to rescue her 16-year-old daughter from the "Scanman."
